BAGS 4 THE BRAVE
Narooma High School year 7 girls Links to Learning group are working on a project “Bags 4 the Brave”
with Julia. What is Bags 4 the Brave you ask? Bags 4 the Brave is a initiative we are working on where
you get a bag and fill it with items in an unused bag. We hope to go Australia wide. In the meantime we
will start with Narooma. How can you help? Well, grab an old or new bag in good condition and fill it with
items such as practical items, sanitary items, toiletries, feel good items and definitely add a card of hope
to lift their spirits and of course give them hope.
Who are they for? These bags are for men, women, teens and children in a rough situation.
Where do you take them? Front office at Narooma high school. C’mon, help a person in need. This is
your time to step up and be a hero. We only ask you please don't add any sharp objects or medications.
